Forty-Seven ~ Alexandre Amarov

Aram Alexander

"The pain of loving someone with a fractured past is that the shards occasionally still cut you when you get close. Sometimes she sees her demons reflected in your choice of words, and her walls go up for fear of being hurt again. And who can blame her? The fragility of her trust has been abused so often it has become covered in scar tissue; made of the remains of broken promises, her caution is a fortress sheltering a gentle heart.

Do not give up on her; lay siege to her stronghold with gentle words spoken honestly, gestures of kindness both big and small, and a patience borne out of love and affection. She should know without being told that however long she chooses to remain in her castle alone, when the draw bridge which separates her innermost feelings from the outside world is finally lowered, you will be standing on the other side waiting for her to let you in once more."
